1398. When did we end up in such a miserable state?(1/2)
"Kristen, take a photo with Avril and me..."
"Dina wants it too!"
"We come alone."
"..."
"..."
There is no chance to be alone on Valentine's Day, at least for the past two years. Alexia watched Liu Mang take a bunch of photos while holding his daughter on Valentine's Day, and said with a smile: "You have an old saying in China that a daughter is
My lover in my previous life, Ace, you interpreted this sentence very well."
"Ahem," Liu Mang was a little embarrassed, but then he had a bad idea and said, "Aida, there is another half to this sentence. You must have never heard it."
"What's the second part?" Alexia asked curiously.
"Avril was my lover in my previous life, and you were the courier..."
"Courier?"
"Yes, it's delivered."
"You're going to die..."
After a bit of fussing, Liu Mang restrained himself from touching Alexia and almost looked at the little Lolita who was holding Avril aside and showing contempt after eating dog food.
Do some things you shouldn't do.
Mainly because of the tight schedule in the past period, neither Levia nor Alexia spent the night in the same room as Liu Mang, for fear of affecting Liu Mang's physical strength. Liu Mang had already been hungry and thirsty, and many of his teammates had
When he had already gone to Las Vegas to hang out in advance, Liu Mang returned to Atlanta first.
Starting today, the All-Star Weekend begins.
For the Eagles, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to relax after a long drought.
Hosting the All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas can be considered Marion's home court. Marion graduated from the University of Nevada. The largest campus of the University of Nevada is in Las Vegas, although Marion is only at the University of Nevada.
He played here for one year when he was three years old, but in this year, Marion was selected to the All-American Second Team and became the ninth overall pick, leaving a deep impression on the fans in the city.
Marion has a lot of fans in Las Vegas. Although there are not many people there, which did not help Marion to be selected as an All-Star, Marion can be regarded as half the host. This time if the Eagles players
If you want to go to the All-Star Weekend and have food, accommodation and transportation in Las Vegas, Marion will take care of it.
On February 14th, Liu Mang did not leave for Las Vegas and rested at home for the day.
Compared to the past few years, Liu Mang had fewer activities during the All-Star Weekend this year, and Schwartz helped him avoid most of them.
When Liu Mang chose Schwartz, he was interested in Schwartz's reputation in future generations. He would not tire out the players for commissions. Of course, without that kind of cruelty, Schwartz would have done it if he had not met Liu Mang.
He was quite depressed for a time, but he did not fall. After accumulating a good reputation, he became the first NBA agent in the future.
This year Liu Mang will only promote Ace's fifth-generation signature shoes on February 16th and 17th, promote on Facebook, have a very coke promotional event, and shoot a promotional photo for an airline, but there will be no other activities.
Not as tiring as the past few years.
…
After a day's rest at home, on February 15th, Liu Mang's family packed up a huge pile of luggage, big and small, and boarded a chartered flight to the casino.
This All-Star Game is filled with a very different feeling.
In other words, this season gives fans a very different feeling!
One word to describe the fans’ impression of this season so far…that’s – radical!
The All-Star break is here, and the management of many teams in the league has entered their busiest moment.
On the afternoon of the 15th, Liu Mang and his family arrived at a villa hotel in Las Vegas. As usual, they did not stay with other All-Stars, rookies, and triathlon players, but rented a villa for themselves.
On the second day of the holiday, Liu Mang saw a lot of news about player movements.
On the SuperSonics side, Sharad Lewis insisted on a maximum salary when negotiating with the management about contract renewal.
There are 29 players in the league who average 20 points per game this year. The SuperSonics originally occupied two of them. Ray Allen and Lewis both averaged 22 points per game. Ray Allen is over 30 years old. The Sonics sent him away, but originally
I want to keep the core partnership of Francis and Sharad Lewis, but if they want a maximum salary... Sharad Lewis has also played for nine years, and the maximum salary will be as high as six years and close to 120 million, which the new SuperSonics boss can't afford.
, just got a new owner. The new owner has been drained of capital by buying the team and financing the construction of a new arena in Oklahoma City. At most, he can survive this year's luxury tax, but he won't be able to pay it next year.
Can put Rashad Lewis on the shelf.
But at this time, Liu Mang feels that it is difficult for the SuperSonics to exchange Lewis for a good return. It is estimated that they can only wait until the summer when Lewis's contract expires, sign first and then exchange for some chips. With Lewis's three-point ability, now than
Originally, time and space paid more attention to three-pointers, and Lewis could get the maximum salary wherever he went.
Rumors about the trade of some players from the Nets and Pistons are flying everywhere.
Since last summer, various teams aiming to compete for the championship have made very aggressive transactions, trying their best to improve their own strength, but this has also made this season a huge soap opera.
All the stars who could be given away in exchange for chips have been given away. Those who have not yet been given out have been waiting for most of the season, and the trade deadline is almost here, but they still cannot be given out.
Because teams that want to strengthen have squandered all their salary space in the summer, while other teams that want stars are not willing to give too much in return, and more importantly, they want the top three picks in the 2007 draft.
Well, bad teams don't want to become stronger.
This is as crazy as the summer of 1998 and the summer of 2002. Back then, the Hawks also followed the crazy league and won a big dog. This season, due to the decline of the Hawks after three consecutive championships, other teams have also become
Crazy.
…
"Ace, we are about to play against each other again. How are you? Are you looking forward to it?" Yao Ming smiled, which was called a wretched one.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'm looking forward to it, you can only be happy until the All-Star Weekend is over." Liu Mang rolled his eyes at Yao Ming.
Just won one game and started to scream!
So far this season, Yao Ming has averaged 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and 1.9 assists per game. His average playing time is 31 minutes per game. It is a pretty good performance and he does not play for a long time. Jackson uses him more preciously than O'Neal.
The same thing is the "husband and wife team" of the Lakers.
Compared with Kobe and Yao Ming, Kobe and Gasol have a better tacit understanding. They have a natural tacit understanding. This kind of tacit understanding makes the cooperation between Kobe and the three highs quite good.
Kobe's scoring has dropped a lot since then, averaging 25 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
Gasol averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. Odom, who went on a date with his girlfriend with a perky butt but did not attend Liu Mang's "New Year's Eve party", averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. The four core players of the Lakers.
The performances are all coquettish.
Former Eagles defensive star Matt Barnes had mediocre statistics in the Lakers, but he was loved by many Lakers fans. Compared to Kobe Bryant, who was extremely proud of his three towers, Barnes tried his best anytime and anywhere.
That kind of ferocity surprised the Lakers fans who were accustomed to the aristocratic style of play.
On February 16, the day of the rookie competition, Liu Mang held a New Year's Eve party at the villa he rented.
Rondo is the only one from the Hawks participating in the rookie game today. Rondo averaged 3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game and was selected to the All-Star Rookie Team.
Tomorrow's three-point contest, Granger and Blake are invited to participate. Liu Mang has declined all invitations to the three-point competition this year. In order to increase attention, the league has been inviting Liu Mang to participate in the three-point competition starting from the All-Star voting.
All competitions, but Liu Mang really doesn’t have the energy.
After finishing the promotion of the so-called "Spring Festival Limited Edition" Ace 5 sneakers this morning, Liu Mang returned to the villa at noon and planned the afternoon party with the two girls.
Originally, Liu Mang wanted his parents to come to Las Vegas to celebrate the New Year, but they went to Europe on Valentine's Day for a vacation. The two of them were having such a great time that Liu Mang hung up the phone without saying anything.
I find international roaming phone charges expensive...
At this party, in addition to the three major stars of the Lakers plus Wang Zhizhi, as well as Fisher who participated in the skills challenge, as well as some stars who participated in this season's All-Stars and have a good relationship with Liu Mang, the Eagles coaching staff also came.
When Liu Mang desperately wanted to spray Yao Ming until he couldn't do it, the coaching staff called him into the next room to talk.
"Ace, we now have two opportunities to strengthen." Coach Kruger operated the computer and called up two news items, which were the two deals reached today.
Liu Mang took a look and saw news of two players being laid off after trades.
The Heat sent Mark Jackson's contract that was about to expire after this season and a second-round pick protected in the top 40 in 2007, and acquired Brandon Bass from the Hornets who had been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons.
.
"This transaction...is it to save money again?" Liu Mang felt very strange about the operation of the divine fortune teller.
It's so utilitarian.
Brandon Bass... Liu Mang has an impression, but he is not a particularly good player. After 2010, he had a short season averaging 10 per game, but suffered many injuries, especially Liu Mang's intuitive experience of this time and space. Although he
He was a second-round pick, but the Hornets signed a four-year, US$3.39 million rookie contract with him. He was reimbursed after his rookie season. He played more than a dozen games this year and was reimbursed again. The Heat sent Mark Jackson out. In addition to saving money,
Money, there are no other possibilities.
After the Hornets acquired Mark Jackson, they waived Mark Jackson. They just wanted to send away Brandon Bass to free up a team spot and prevent Brandon Bass from being injured.
The four-year fully guaranteed rookie contract occupies a future team spot.
During the draft that year, Brandon Bass was quite popular. The Hornets thought they got a bargain when he fell to the second round. After all, he was the best player in the NCAA Southeastern Conference. He averaged 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks per game as a sophomore.
Who knew that if you enter the NBA, you will be reimbursed every year.
And with Mark Jackson, their inside strength may be enhanced, which may cause problems in their plan to acquire this year's top two draft picks.
As for the Heat's second-round pick... it's almost certain that they won't get it. The Heat have fallen out of the top 20 in the league this year and are now ranked fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, having successfully "overtaken" the Knicks.
Liu Mang soon revealed the reasons why the Heat and Hornets made this deal.
To be continued...
